hello! here are some more drawings! By deciding to do doodles for every Sherlock Holmes story and then coming up with an underlying relationship narrative and spending way too much time thinking about it, I seem to have tricked myself into drawing another webcomic…anyway I hope you are still enjoying these!
These are for THE SIX NAPOLEONS, which has a truly iconic scene of Holmes getting really flustered by compliments:
And these are for THE RED CIRCLE. For one of the jokes to work I must explain that ‘agony columns’ is Victorian for ‘the classifieds section’ (which, I’m realizing, is also kind of a dated reference, so I guess the more modern version is just…reddit)
This is unrelated to the above, but if you see one movie this month I highly suggest seeking out PROBLEMISTA by Julio Torres. I’ve loved his work for years but was still unprepared for how hard that movie hit me! Funny and emotional and entirely unique. Support weird queer art wherever you can!
Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain, you could absolutely publish these as a collection or a whole new graphic novel and No One Could Stop You 👀
I love how perfectly you've captured the "Well, Watson, I've solved the case: Go fetch your revolver!" moment. Always one of my favorite recurring beats in the stories.
